Carly is a catcher on the school softball team. By the end of the season, she has played in 45% of the 40 games the team played. In how many games did Carly NOT play?

a. 18
b. 20
c. 22
d. 24

To find the number of games Carly did not play, we need to calculate what percentage of games she did play.

First, we start with the number of games Carly played. We know she played in 45% of the 40 games, so we multiply 45% by 40 to find the number of games Carly played:

45% * 40 = 0.45 * 40 = 18

Carly played in 18 games.

To find the number of games she did not play, we subtract the number of games she played from the total number of games:

Total number of games - Number of games Carly played = Number of games Carly did not play

40 - 18 = 22

Carly did not play in 22 games.

Therefore, the answer is c. 22 games.

the other 55% = 0.55 * 40 = ___
